Outlook Festival

Hi! Highlights of today’s Festival Line-Up Update, a summary of the changes just made to outdoorsy music goings-on all over the worrrrld, include the addition of a big name headliner (hint: it’s Coldplay) to BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Glasgow, which is free, but totally fully booked.

And extra, extra; there’s news too of a big new consignment over at the twin Reading and Leeds bills, one featuring The Horrors, Duke Dumont, AlunaGeorge, Brody Dalle, Dry The River and Marika Hackman.

In a big day for festival headlines, clean and pleasant pop picnic V has added Tinie Tempah, Childish Gambino, Cee Lo Green, John Martin and Pixie Lott to its billing, whilst Croatian dance party Outlook, B-Town summer bash Fusion, leafy Hampshire rave Blissfields, pastoral one-dayer Lounge On The Farm and this year’s Glasgow Summer Sessions all make the latest tweaks to their listings.
